Ramos said that the 4-year-old’s teacher, Amy Cutler, had been researching the device and was planning to start a GoFundMe, but before she could, her co-worker met Jim Burke in his Uber.

"I'm telling this story of how great this kid was... who has a disability and is so enthused to help himself," Browne told ABC. "He said, 'Wait a minute, you don't have to do a fundraiser, I will write a check to cover this device.' We brought the gentleman to the school. He wrote a check for $500."

The device is a harness that attaches to another person and Luis to stand upright and walk with assistance from that person.

Burke told the he donated the money because he was in the "right place, at the right time."

"It was a no-brainer. It touched me," Burke said. "It didn't even take a split second. It was a very easy decision."
